Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, but she kept her head down, and all others could see was that she was shaking uncontrollably.
What a scumbag.
Even she, an outsider, could feel the imperial concubine's sincerity, but this man's heart seemed to be made of stone when the first slap came.
Still a little ashamed.
But after the second slap, there was only coldness and disappointment in his eyes.
Wen Yunxiao clenched his fists and looked coldly at the imperial concubine who was covering her cheek. "So, this is how your father led the ministers in the court to force me to adopt a royal family."
"You're even willing to threaten me with dismissal?"
Concubine Wu's eyes froze. Recently, her family had often sent her letters, asking her to whisper in the emperor's ear and finalize the adoption as soon as possible.
But she couldn't even see the emperor, and she was impatient to get involved in the turmoil in the court, even though she didn't refuse directly out of filial piety.
But in the end, there was no substantial action.
Perhaps because she didn't respond much and the letters from home gradually became less and less, she...she still thought that her father had given up that ridiculous idea!
I didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
Her father actually threatened the emperor with dismissal!
Her heart was beating uncontrollably in her chest. Concubine Wu froze in place, unable to help but tremble all over. What on earth was her father thinking? This was the emperor!
How can the majesty of imperial power be threatened?
Moreover, such a big thing happened, but no one informed her from beginning to end. Could it be that her father no longer wanted her as a daughter?
Concubine Wu opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. Her chest felt blocked and she couldn't breathe. After a long while, she finally managed to utter a few words, "No, no, Your Majesty, my father..."
"Tell me, which one do you Wu family have your eyes on? My son is dead, but the Prime Minister hasn't given up his dream of becoming the emperor's father-in-law."
Concubine Wu raised her head, and the blood color on her face faded.
"The youngest daughter of the Wu family has become the concubine of the Prince of Jin. I wonder if you, her elder sister, have been informed?"
All the strength in her body was drained, and Concubine Wu fell to the ground. She didn't know whether it was fear or anger, but even a finger seemed out of her control.
Seeing this, Wen Yunxiao just snorted coldly and grabbed Lin Chunhuan's arm in the corner, "Forget it, since Lingxi Palace can't be cleaned up, Concubine Rou will temporarily live in Weiyang Palace."
"When this place is cleaned up, I will let Concubine Rou move back."
"emperor!"
Lin Chunhuan was half-pulled forward. It was unknown what words of the emperor had provoked Concubine Wu, but she suddenly regained consciousness and shouted "Your Majesty" in an extremely heartbreaking voice.
Seeing Wen Yunxiao beside him suddenly stop, Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips slightly.
She knew that the emperor definitely had no feelings for the imperial concubine.
Otherwise, Prime Minister Wu would have caused such a commotion outside. Even if Concubine Wu was the biological mother of the deceased little prince, the emperor would never keep such a person in the harem.
However, even so, the emperor only reprimanded the imperial concubine with such a poor reason, but she was deprived of the honor and wealth she deserved.
But not less at all.
Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes.
In the previous life, the King of Jin was able to successfully become the Crown Prince, and Prime Minister Wu made a lot of efforts, and this was partly due to Concubine Wu.
She didn't know and didn't want to find out.
In short, she will end this journey today.
"It's unprecedented for concubines from the harem to live in the Weiyang Palace for a long time. Is the Emperor going to break this precedent?"
Every word Concubine Wu wrote was heartbreaking.
She understood better than anyone that if Lin Chunhuan was allowed to live in Weiyang Palace for a long time, the royal family's reckoning with the Prime Minister's Mansion would probably not be far away.
Noticing the emperor's hand suddenly tightened, Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyebrows.
This action was a slap in the face of the imperial concubine in public, leaving no mercy. She understood it, the imperial concubine Wu understood it, and the emperor... naturally understood it too.
Lin Chunhuan is willing to act as such a shield.
"emperor."
A gentle call sounded in his ears. Wen Yunxiao raised his head slightly, with a slight redness in his eyes. As a young couple, it would be disheartening to say that he really didn't care about the life or death of the imperial concubine.
Lin Chunhuan bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Huan'er doesn't understand these things, but today... I'm afraid you have misunderstood the Imperial Concubine."
Lowering her head and not daring to meet Wen Yunxiao's gaze directly, Lin Chunhuan took several deep breaths before mustering the courage to speak: "Xing'er was transferred here today. I went to the Imperial Household Department and ran into the Empress Defei!"
"So, this was Concubine De's idea!"
Wen Yunxiao's tone sounded relatively calm, but the relaxation hidden beneath that calmness was easily detected by Lin Chunhuan, who had been paying attention to every detail about him.
Without responding to Wen Yunxiao's question, Lin Chunhuan lowered her head and slowly pulled her wrist out of Wen Yunxiao's palm. "No matter who it is, I am very grateful for your concern."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten into such a stalemate with the Imperial Concubine. Besides, what the Imperial Concubine said makes a lot of sense."
"Concubines in the harem are not allowed to stay in Weiyang Palace for long. Huan'er has learned the rules left by our ancestors and will naturally not violate them. Your Majesty...even if it is to prevent Huan'er from becoming a source of trouble for everyone, please don't be angry with the Imperial Concubine."
Lin Chunhuan raised his eyes, although he said he was afraid, but there was also a bit of curiosity in his eyes as he carefully looked at the expression on Wen Yunxiao's face.
Even if she only noticed the slightest difference between his eyebrows and eyes, a smile would appear on her lips, and all her expectations and admiration would be hidden in her eyes.
Manager Fang, who was standing beside him, had been listening quietly.
At this time, he had to look up to Lin Chunhuan.
When people do even a little bit of good, they want to be praised for it.
Even if the emperor's actions, in the final analysis, had nothing to do with the Lingxi Palace incident, it was just a fuse.
But in the mouth of this new concubine, everything seemed to be done for her.
As expected, Wen Yunxiao's eyes had completely softened. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the hair on Lin Chunhuan's forehead. "My dear Huan'er, it's rare for you to be so sensible."
"You don't have to go to Weiyang Palace, but I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"As for Concubine De..."
"Empress Defei is the Emperor's person, and so is Huan'er. So Huan'er believes that Empress Defei is definitely like Huan'er, wholeheartedly working for the Emperor's benefit."
Before General Wen Yunxiao could finish his words, Lin Chunhuan smiled.
In the end, the incident ended with the imperial concubine being put in solitary confinement for three months, but a large number of palace servants in Lingxi Palace were quietly replaced!
After hearing this, Concubine De's face was almost unable to maintain its dignity. "You mean, none of the spies I sent in were able to stay?"
